Digestive health is paramount for their overall well-being and productivity. A well-functioning digestive system ensures optimal nutrient absorption, which directly impacts growth, immunity, and disease resistance in poultry production. However, maintaining digestive health can be challenging due to various factors such as dietary changes, stressors, and pathogen exposure. Thankfully, advancements in nutritional supplements like GBM Enhanced offer promising solutions to support their gut health.
Understanding Poultry Digestive Health
Disturbances in the gut microbial balance, inflammation, or damage to the intestinal lining can compromise digestive function. Factors such as suboptimal diets, pathogenic infections, and environmental stressors can disrupt the delicate equilibrium of the gut microbiota, leading to conditions like dysbiosis, leaky gut syndrome, and increased susceptibility to diseases.
Introducing GBM Enhanced
GBM Enhanced is a unique blend designed to support poultry digestive health effectively. It contains encapsulated calcium butyrate in combination with calcium lactate and SAN-protect (HSCAS), which work synergistically to promote intestinal integrity and microbial balance. Due to the coating, GBM Enhanced is not digested in the crop nor is it absorbed in the stomach so it can reach the small intestines.
Encapsulated Calcium Butyrate: a short-chain fatty acid renowned for its beneficial effects on gut health. It serves as a vital energy source for intestinal epithelial cells, promoting their proliferation and enhancing the gut barrier function. By delivering butyrate in an encapsulated form, GBM Enhanced ensures targeted release in the intestinal tract, maximizing its bioavailability and efficacy.
Calcium Lactate: calcium is essential for maintaining intestinal integrity and regulating various physiological processes. Calcium lactate, a bioavailable source of calcium, contributes to mucosal repair and strengthens the gut barrier, thereby reducing the risk of pathogen invasion and inflammation.
SAN-Protect (HSCAS): Hydrated Sodium Calcium Aluminosilicate (HSCAS) is a natural mineral clay known for its mycotoxin-binding properties. By adsorbing mycotoxins present in feed, HSCAS helps mitigate their negative impact on gut health and overall poultry performance. Moreover, its ability to neutralize toxins reduces oxidative stress and supports the immune system.
Key Benefits of using GBM Enhanced
- Positive effect on health and zootechnical performance, FCR, laying rate, egg weight, shell quality (less breakage, less hair cracks and dirty eggs) and bone health.
- Helps maintain the natural balance of intestinal microbiota
- Stimulates the differentiation and growth of the intestinal wall (butyrate)
- Does not dissociate in the stomach (bypass in monogastric animals)
- Easy to mix and use
In vivo studies
Several In vivo studies have proven GBM Enhanced’s benefits in broilers and laying hens.
In vivo tests results:
- In laying hens: positive effect on production parameters, internal egg quality (Haugh Units) and external quality (shell thickness)
- GBM Enhanced improves persistence in the last weeks of production up to 6 more eggs, increasing the number of eggs per hen housed.
- The productive performance of meat birds (body weight and health status) showed statistically significant differences.
- Improves the development and protection of intestinal villi.
In conclusion, maintaining optimal digestive health is crucial for maximizing the performance and welfare of poultry in production systems. GBM Enhanced offers a comprehensive solution to support poultry digestive health through its unique combination of encapsulated calcium butyrate, calcium lactate and SAN-Protect (HSCAS). By promoting gut integrity, enhancing nutrient absorption, and mitigating the impact of mycotoxins, GBM Enhanced empowers poultry producers to achieve superior results in terms of growth, efficiency, and disease resilience.
